Perspex pit boards ?? Poly butler template ??
 

Hi all

Who if anyone supplies pit boards ? Looking for something decent made of Perspex about 10 or 12mm thick so I can paint it on the underside !

Also wondering if anyone has a pattern for vinyl wrapping a poly butler pit box ??

Cheers
Graham

Graham,
I have spent abit of time in the past looking for 'pit board' material. It not that difficult to come across but it can be expensive, I looked into buying a big sheet from a local sign maker but it worked out something like £300 for a 1m x 2m sheet 10mm thick !!!

eBay is probably one of the best places to look for a ' one off' bit but as they are quiet large items the postage is a killer !!

I ended up getting abit from a mate who knew a mate if you know what I mean

I know my reply hasn't helped your search much but it might give you something to think about

Be interesting to know where others get it from

Hi Andy

Yes I've done a little research as you probably did , so I need to find a friend of a friend then !

Anyone help then please ??

Hi Graham.
I deliver sheets of perspex and got myself a few good sheets of 10mm thick.
I then set about it with my router via a template i had made so i can now router out circle cups for screws etc and a slot along the bottom,i then had a picture printed and mounted on the back with optical film.
The size i made is 610mm square.
I can email picture if your interested and cut you a sheet with or without screw cups.
Cheers
Dave

Great stuff Dave , I'll pm you tomorrow with a couple of ideas as to what I'm after cheers mate

No probs graham

Hi I work for a plastic machining company and we have some acrylic off its in 12 mm. 4ftx approx 30".
You could also use polycarbonate and maybe thinner plastic vac-formed.
I also get rod offcuts in other plastics.
Pm me if you need anything, as I hate scrap going to land fill
